In an effort to increase awareness of melanoma and other types of skin cancer, the American Academy of Dermatology has designated the first Monday in May as Melanoma Monday. According to the AAD, melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and the most common cancer for 25-to 29-year-olds. Most people know the importance of sunscreen and what it can mean for skincare and sun safety, but products still end up being misused, leaving many at risk for permanent skin damage and skin aging. Below is a list of five sunscreen mistakes to avoid at all costs.
1. Thinking you’re exempt from sunscreen because you have dark or olive skin.
2. Not applying sunblock often enough.
3. Neglecting to wear sunscreen while driving or working indoors.
4. Using a sunscreen that blocks only UVB rays.
5. Using a sunscreen that has expired.
To keep skin protected, La Roche-Posay Anthelios offers sunscreens which block both UVA and UVB rays. And always remember… apply and re-apply!

Great New Products:

Huge fan of La-Roche Posay sunscreen products. They absorb well and provide maximum protection, excited to check out their latest formula.

NEW La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Fluid with Cell-Ox Shield XL ($29.99) is a breakthrough innovation in the next generation of advanced UVA/UVB protection, featuring a non-greasy, lightweight formulation with uncompromised efficacy. Designed with optimal safety and efficacy in mind, CELL-OX SHIELD™ XL is a synergistic combination of filters that provides advanced UVA/UVB and antioxidant protection using 21% fewer ingredients than before, yet still offering broad-spectrum protection.
